John Tinter (Manager of bing at Microsoft) has recently posted a blog entitled “Enchanced cooperation with facebook on search”. Microsoft, as you may or may not know, bought a 1.6 percent stake in Facebook a couple of years ago for $240 million. The new cooperation with Facebook will go deeper in web search experiences according to Tinter. Microsoft are alse bringing Facebook’s API into the search experince which should allow us and them to work together with a more friendly approach. Good or bad idea? Let us know.

A number of people on Facebook’s ad team seem pretty convinced that they’ll be gone shortly although Facebook’s comms centre are not confirming anything jusy yet. A Business article from yesterday quoted a Microsoft employee who said that they might be “adjusting or changing” (losing) their ad inventory! Lets see if Facebook finally do get rid of the advertisements or not.
